Dear Kenneth,
Sorry to hear about the gossip mongers.
God judges the heart and the fruit. So even if you had been duped into helping a person who didn't really need help, it would not matter because your heart was in the right place.
The fruit of the gossip mongers is more gossip, distrust, envy, jealousy and a myriad of other distasteful character traits. Not a very pretty heart to present to their maker when that day comes.
As a person who is also in the sad position of having to accept help from others this month, I applaud and admire your efforts to help the less fortunate.
Sometimes life brings us chaos and poverty, but God brings us hope and victory and He does it through you and others like you.
When you are doing God's work, or giving back to humanity, that's when the evil human termites will come out of the woodwork to torment you and try to destroy your efforts.
Good always wins over evil. :)
God bless you Kenneth.
